Considering constructing a Rain Garden in the Philadelphia area. Do have a plant section list for this application?
Recommended plants for Pennsylvania?
Answer
The Philadelphia Water Department has an excellent page on their website on constructing a Rain Garden.
This page includes suggested plants, depending on how much sun you get.
Penn State has a list of suggested plants for rain gardens
Am also sending you a useful chapter on waterwise gardening techniques from Christopher Thomas's The new American landscape : leading voices on the future of sustainable gardening. (See attached file)
